The University of Miami men's tennis team defeated No. 52 Georgia Tech, 5-2, in Atlanta Sunday for the Canes' first ACC win of the season.

"It was a great win for the Canes today," said head coach Mario Rincon. "Any win in the ACC is a good one, especially on the road. We bounced back after the doubles point, and our guys got off to a good start in singles."

After falling behind in doubles, Miami's Omar Aly brought home UM's first point with a 6-0, 6-2 win over Nathan Rakitt. Henrique Tsukamoto followed suit with another straight-sets win, 6-4, 6-1, over Colin Edwards at the sixth position.

Gabriel Flores made it three-straight points for the Canes by defeating Carlos Benito 6-3, 6-4, to take the 3-1 overall lead. Diego Soto faced Eduardo Segura in the first match of the day to go to three sets. Soto took the early 7-5 lead, but fell 4-6 in the second set. In the final set, Soto swept Segura 6-0 for the win.

Wilfredo Gonzalez also played his opponent, Cole Fiegel, to three sets, but came up short 2-6, 6-4, 6-2. William Albanese secured Miami's final point with a come-from-behind victory. After falling 4-6 in the first, he won 6-4, 6-1 to get the win.

To start the day in doubles, Soto and Flores fell 8-6 to Fiegel and Rakitt. Then Aly and Gonzalez played No. 36 Benito and Segura to an 8-7 score, but lost in a 16-14 tiebreaker. The third doubles match between Albanese and Tsukamoto went unfinished despite a score of 7-7 (7-6).

The Canes next host Troy on Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center.
